Knocked up a quick demonstration video to compare the tonal difference (if any!) between the Rode NTG1 shotgun mic and the Rode NT1 studio mic. Obviously there are differences in the pick up response between the two mics and I wouldn't want to use the NT1 outdoors, but inside and on axis, they both sound good. There is slightly less "room noise" on the NTG1 but this is down to its hypercardioid pickup. Didn't mention in the video, but both mics were approx. 18" from mouth.
The video itself was shot with the 550d camera and Tamron 28 to 75mm f2.8 lens to give nice shallow DoF. Audio was handled by Zoom H4N and sync'd up with picture using Pluraleyes software (although a hand clap and Final Cut's MERGE SEQUENCE function would have worked just as well).
Exported from Final Cut with a 2.35:1 "widescreen" filter applied. Black bars removed by exporting to MPEG4 (3000kbps) using a resolution of 1920 x 816 (i.e. 2.35:1) and aspect ratio maintained by "crop" option.
